LOCAL GOVERNMENT LAWYERS AND ADVOCATES

Our attorneys are experienced Maryland lawyers who represent local governments in education law, local law enforcement, and other areas of civil administration. We have experience as elected board of education members, advisors to local school boards, and advocating for sheriff's deputies against accusations of civil rights violations.  

A solid code of ethics is essential to not only personal development and the good life, but to good governance in the private and public sectors. Too often, however, corporate execs, government employees and elected officials don't recognize an "ethical minefield" until a conundrum arises; one that requires a reasoned decision to avoid an ethical conflict or possibly crossing the line into criminality.   

We have in-depth and unique experience in representing clients who have been financially injured by the financial investment firms and advisors who are obligated to act as fiduciaries for their investors. We have successfully secured judgements against broker dealers such as Wells Fargo Advisors, Merrill Lynch, and other major firms for our clients. We also represent those advisors who have been wrongfully terminated by their broker dealer employers, including cases that involve FINRA Form U-5 Defamation.

It's a complicated process with lots of opportunities to make mistakes with serious consequences.
